Facing the current severe and complex pandemic situation, as part of an art university, what should we do and how should we do? During this special period, we will truly record every bit of the actions taken by the teachers, students and staff members. Art is a kind of warmth, art is also a kind of power, art can bring strength to others, and art can also inspire ourselves. Move forward with art! The pandemic is only temporary, but art will last forever.
Food is the most important thing for the people. After the implementation of quasi-lockdown on campus, the supply of vegetables for teachers and students has become one of the most concerned things. After learning that the supply of vegetables in Shanghai was becoming tight recently, Du Jiang, a young actor and an alumnus of the Acting Department, immediately purchased 9,000 kg of fresh vegetables from Wuhan, such as tomatoes, Chinese cabbage and carrots, and drove over one thousand kilometers overnight to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, his alma mater. Teachers and students said that the warm-hearted vegetables that the alumni had sent were a timely rain.
In the face of the increasingly severe pandemic situation in Shanghai, Chen He, another alumnus of the Acting Department of STA, donated 15,000 N95 masks, 1,500 protective suits, 1,500 eye masks and 1,500 pairs of shoe covers to his alma mater. It is touching to send charcoal in the snow. It is touching to have such a timely assistance.
According to incomplete statistics, since the outbreak of this round of pandemic, donations received by Shanghai Theatre Academy also include:
50 quilts, 50 camp beds and 10,000 masks donated by the Bank of Construction Jing’an Branch.
A batch of LYFEN gift bags donated by the Shanghai Women's Federation, the Shanghai Municipal Education Women’s Affairs Working Committee and the Children’s Foundation under the Shanghai women's Federation as a token of thank-you to those working on the front-line of the anti-pandemic battle in colleges and universities.
150 boxes of oatmeal drink and 5 boxes of cereal donated by the Oatly (Shanghai) Beverage Co Ltd, with the help of Zou Xilai, an alumnus of the STA College of Film and a staff of Oatly.
The crew of drama "Outpost" presented all 3,000 copies of Sachima originally customized for the Beijing performance, to the teachers, students and staff of STA as an encouragement for everyone to do their utmost in the battle against the pandemic.
You are concerned about STA and STA will always remember it. True feelings shown at a crucial time carry much more weight than thousands of words on ordinary days. We flight together in the battle against the pandemic.
